The Romanian people hold a deep affection for Vietnam, as evidenced by Nguyen Hoang Lein's warm welcome. This year's celebrations were led by the Vietnamese government and Communist Party leadership, with key figures such as Party General Secretary and President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez (Cuban President attending), Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man involved in the ceremonies and coordination.

The large military parade and public march were a testament to Vietnam's strength and unity, both domestically and among its overseas communities. It was a day of celebration, remembrance, and looking forward to a bright future for Vietnam and its people.
